I Never Make The Same Mistake Twice. I Make It…
Good thing Obama nixed the jobs council! Unemployment rises to 7.9%
http://twitter.com/#!/DavidMDrucker/status/297336548687486976
Good thing President Obama put his jobs council out of work yesterday!
So economy contracted, unemployment rate increased to 7.9% and the Jobs Council just got laid off.

Wonder what Obama’s job council thinks about this. Oh. Wait.

Obama: “Unemployment went UP?? Quick, call my Jobs Council!” *dialtone*

I wonder if the members of the now disbanded Jobs Council will be filing for unemployment. #tcot #TGDN
— Sean Kilroy (@seankilroy) February 1, 2013
The latest jobs report indicates that the president’s jobs council will have company down at the unemployment office. We suppose this is … unexpected.
I’m sure this rise in unemployment is ‘completely unexpected’ to the Democrats who claimed the economy was “roaring back”. #FORWARD

BREAKING: January Jobs Report: 7.9% unemployment rate | 157,000 net new payrolls

The broader U-6 unemployment rate was unchanged at 14.4%
— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) February 1, 2013
Both the labor force participation rate and employment-population ratios were unchanged
— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) February 1, 2013
While the % unemployed 27 weeks or longer fell to 38.1% from 39.1%, sharp increase in those unemployed 5-14 weeks, to 24.5% from 23.3%
— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) February 1, 2013
10.8%: That’s what the unemployment rate would be if the labor force participation rate was the same as in Jan. 2009
— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) February 1, 2013
Change in total nonfarm payroll employment for Nov. was revised from +161,000 to +247,000. Dec. was revised from +155,000 to +196,000

At 157,000 jobs a month, US economy would not return to pre-Great Recession employment levels until after 2025 hamiltonproject.org/jobs_gap/
— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) February 1, 2013
Recall that according to Team Obama’s 2009 stimulus projection, we should be closing in on 5% unemployment right now
— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) February 1, 2013
And, no, demographics probably don’t entirely explain the huge and sustained drop in the labor force participation rate over past 4 years
— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) February 1, 2013
Can anyone spare some hope … or change?
Last 6 months unemployment rates: Aug 8.1; Sep 7.8; Oct 7.9; Nov 7.8; Dec 7.8 and Jan 7.9%.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) February 1, 2013
Obama still isn’t working. And you know what that means? Spin, lapdogs, spin!
Remember the unemployment rate is “essentially unchanged.” Couple of tenths up/down is just noise.

Breitbart’s John Nolte translates Ezra Klein’s analysis.
What would I do without @ezraklein telling me unemployment increase is a good thing and more deficit spending will grow the economy?
— John Nolte(@NolteNC) February 1, 2013
Shorter @ezraklein: Now matter which way the unemployment rate goes, it means Obama is the Sun King.
— John Nolte(@NolteNC) February 1, 2013
Shorter @ezraklein: GDP contracts, unemployment rate increases = Obama is the Sun King.

Forward!

Update:
Surprise! The White House says this is evidence of a healing economy!
White House says today’s jobless report shows “much work remains to be done but “further evidence” economy is healing from downturn wounds.

‘Now do Chelsea Clinton’: Sally Kohn swings and misses with this swipe at Ivanka
@sallykohn With every tweet Sally makes she steps deeper and deeper in it— mymanjaco (@smartbassist) May 3, 2017
Sally Kohn really doesn’t like Ivanka Trump. It’s just too bad she can’t find a more convincing way to make her case:
Ivanka Trump is definitely a successful woman, but her success comes with a GIANT asterisk that she was set up to succeed at birth— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) May 3, 2017
Pssst, Sally! If you’re gonna go there, you’d better be prepared to go all the way:

Resolution to rebuke President Obama for Bergdahl/Taliban swap
http://twitter.com/#!/ChadPergram/status/508991070936776704
The House Rules Committee met today to prepare a resolution that would rebuke President Obama for arranging the prisoner swap of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban prisoners. A vote on the resolution may take place as early as Tuesday.
http://twitter.com/#!/jrsalzman/status/509041290554519552The administration is required by law to notify Congress at least 30 days ahead of time before transferring prisoners housed at the Guantánamo Bay detention facility. President Obama said after the transfer took place that giving Congress a heads-up could have jeopardized the deal with the Taliban to free the American prisoner of war.
The resolution expresses “grave concern” that releasing the five senior Taliban commanders raised national security risks.
Additionally, it argues that the exchange harmed the administration’s working relationships with the legislative branch, stating that “these actions have burdened unnecessarily the trust and confidence in the commitment and ability of the Obama administration to constructively engage and work with Congress.”

John Cusack praises Sen. Wyden as only ‘principled Dem’ to join Rand Paul
http://twitter.com/#!/johncusack/status/309557385263996928
As Twitchy reported last night, actor John Cusack took to Twitter in support of Sen. Rand Paul’s filibuster. The actor opposes the use of drones, and he wondered where the Democrats were, whom he believes should be standing up to “regressive corporate warlord” Obama.
Today, he used Twitter to praise Sen. Wyden, the one Democrat who did #StandwithRand during his “filiblizzard.”
@cenkuygur: Great credit to Ron Wyden so far for being the only principled Democrat to join Rand Paul in arguing for the constitution.”
— John Cusack (@johncusack) March 7, 2013
He also continued to ding liberals for remaining silent, by retweeting these tweets from Glenn Greenwald.
RT @ggreenwald: Van Jones on CNN: “Rand Paul last night was a civil liberties hero” and “progressives should be ashamed of themselves”
— John Cusack (@johncusack) March 7, 2013
RT @ggreenwald: Amy Goodman in the Guardian: America is shamed that only Rand Paul is talking about drone executionst.co/NaotI …
— John Cusack (@johncusack) March 7, 2013
Of course, note the snide slam to Sen. Rand and the Tea Party: How can it be only that dumb old rube? Taking a sneering page straight from WaPo’s Eugene Robinson’s clueless book.
